Mookie Betts has seen the Los Angeles Dodgers make deals this offseason that has filled the rest of the league with envy.
One of those moves involved Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki, who was the prize of the offseason.
Betts, who is in Japan this week, revealed he met the 23-year-old Sasaki during the Dodgers’ second meeting with the Japanese star. Betts noted that Sasaki is very reserved, likely due in part to the language barrier.
“I’m going to get him out of his shell,” Betts said to reporters in a quick interview.
